Bill
AI Summary
- Requires the insurer of an employee leasing company to provide workers' compensation coverage for all leased and nonleased employees of a client company if the client company fails to secure and maintain its own separate coverage during the contract period
- A client company's failure to report a leased employee's hiring to the employee leasing company may not serve as a basis for denying workers' compensation benefits to that unreported employee, though additional premiums and penalties may still be charged
- Establishes that a person becomes an employee of the employee leasing company upon the earliest of: being hired by the client company, commencing work for the client company, or being hired directly by the employee leasing company
- Requires insurers to conduct annual audits of both employee leasing companies and client companies to verify payroll, classifications, and payments to employees, subcontractors, and independent contractors, ensuring appropriate premiums are charged
- Imposes a penalty of up to three times the most recent estimated annual premium on an employee leasing company or client company that fails to provide reasonable access to payroll and classification records for audit, and updates terminology throughout the statute to align with definitions in s. 468.520
